So, after eating almonds for the last few days, I think I have gained a couple pounds, but, I also got now a good understanding of the size of an almond kernel. From the bag of almonds, I picked out the smallest I could find, and also one that is a bit larger than the average almond. There might be a larger, or a smaller one left in the bag, and if I come across these, I definitely will post them as well.
Took pictures with a ruler (Starrett, nothing better than these...) to shown the size differences a bit better.
I also weighed them, used a small GEM scale I normally use for my reloading when checking throw weight of the powder.
The small on weighs 0.86 gram (13.2 grains) and the large one is 1.45 gram (22.3 grains). This is quite a difference!!
Could you imagine the shaving results if your soap amount will be so much different!!!!!
BTW, the scale was set on a granite slab that is resting on a dense rubber mat. As always, my good old Harrods golf ball also assists as a size scale comparison item.
